Boyd's Silicone Sustainability

As part of a continued effort to become more environmentally sustainable, Boyd's Weiler-Simmerberg, Germany facility evaluated their environmental footprint in a multi-part seminar at the beginning of 2021. An internal team consulted experts from a local renowned institute to investigate their facility practices to identify sustainability improvements. This team collected an array of data including an analysis of the facility's energy supply and transportation systems, as well as an anonymous survey of employees. This evaluation helped to determine CO2 emissions in individual areas to uncover potential ways to save energy. This data helps us determine how to increase extrusion and molded silicone part production sustainability and raises awareness among personnel.

Once the analysis of all environmental impacts was categorized, the local ecological focus team planned individual projects to reduce emissions based on the data. One upcoming project is to install charging stations for electric cars at the Weiler-Simmerberg plant. Beyond enabling company cars to convert to electric, charging stations encourage employees to use their own electric vehicles.

To reduce emissions in waste management, the facility will install cardboard and foil presses. Pressing recyclables will require significantly less space and reduce disposal cycles. Instead of emptying conventional recycling containers weekly, the presses only need to be emptied every six months. As per our usual processes, these materials will be recycled and returned to the production cycle.

虽然大多数设施电源来自区域可再生资源，但已启动了几个能源项目，以进一步减少排放。bob官网 bob体育下载该团队已经设计了一个散热系统的计划，以削减现场的一般电力用途。这将减少通过从废气中的热量回收热量来减少能量密集型过程所需的电力。由于我们仍未将所有排放量减少到该设施中的零，Boyd正在继续追求未来的项目，以减少和删除我们的剩余环境影响。
